you’re not going down with the puck

GLENDALE Womens Phillip Lindsay Jersey , Ariz. (AP) — Five games into his first NHL season, rookie Rasmus Dahlin has his first career goal.The 18-year-old defenseman, the first overall pick in this year’s NHL draft, put in a rebound 2:45 into the game. It proved to be all the Buffalo Sabres needed in a 3-0 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday night.Dahlin was mobbed by his teammates on the ice.“They were really glad and that makes me glad, too,” he said. “A good win for us. It’s a tough league, but we’ll just keep moving forward.”Linus Ullmark stopped 36 shots for his first career shutout, Jeff Skinner had a goal and an assist, and Conor Sheary also scored for the Sabres. Ullmark, making his season debut, appeared in his 27th career NHL game.“It was sweet,” Ullmark said of his shutout. “I didn’t have to fight much to see the puck, so all credit to the guys for helping out.”Arizona failed to score for the third time in their first four games – including the second time at home.Antti Raanta had 20 saves for the Coyotes, who have two goals this season despite outshooting their opponents in every game.“If we’re not getting out chances or not getting our shots I’d be worried. But you can’t keep moving lines every time because you’re not scoring,” Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said. “A guy hits a guy in the logo, some guys, you’ve got to pick the corner. It’s four games and I know everybody’s frustrated we’re not scoring goals … at the end of the day you’ve got to be able to will yourself a goal.”The Coyotes went 0 for 3 on power plays and are 1 for 12 on the season. Defenseman and captain Oliver Ekman-Larsson took a nasty spill when he was tripped up late in the game on a hit by Patrik Berglund.Ekman-Larsson was able to return to the ice moments later, just before Skinner scored on a backhand with 3:31 to play in the third.Buffalo got started with Dahlin’s goal, but Skinner did much of the work to set it up. The center, acquired from Carolina in an offseason trade, skated around Coyotes defenseman Jason Demers and Raanta, leaving the puck for Dahlin for the finish.“I was happy for him. First one,” Skinner said of Dahlin. “You watch him play and you know it’s going to come for him, it was going to come. He’s got so much skill. Nice for him to get it out of the way.”A cross-checking penalty on Arizona’s Christian Fischer set up Buffalo’s first power play of the game, and Sheary beat Raanta on his blocker side after Sam Reinhart faked a shot and dished the puck out to Sheary. The goal, with 1:54 left in the first period, gave Buffalo a 2-0 lead and was the first power-play goal allowed by Arizona this season.The Coyotes missed a pair of good chances late in the second, with Ullmark stopping shots from close range by Richard Panik and Fischer before the period ended.NOTES: Former Coyotes D Zbynek Michalek, who played 612 career games with the team, dropped the ceremonial first puck before Saturday’s game.

He then missed the next three games with an upper body injury.UP NEXTSabres: At Vegas on Tuesday night.Coyotes: At Minnesota on Tuesday night. DALLAS (AP) — Ryan Suter joked that he was trying to bank the puck off a Dallas defenseman and into the net.Suter scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and had two assists as the Minnesota Wild beat the Stars 3-1 on Friday night.Dallas goalie Ben Bishop had stopped a shot by Eric Staal Cheap Kerryon Johnson Jersey , but the puck went into the left corner. Suter sent the puck back in front, and it ricocheted in off the Stars’ Esa Lindell with 7:06 left to put the Wild up 2-1.“I was just trying to get it to the net,” Suter said as he got more serious about the description.Devan Dubnyk made 33 saves — including 24 in the second period — for Minnesota in a game that was scoreless through 40 minutes.“In the second period, if it wasn’t for (Dubnyk), they could have had five,” Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. “I was really impressed.”The Stars finally broke through 36 seconds into the third period, when Jason Spezza scored his first of the season, tipping in Miro Heiskanen’s shot from the left point.Minnesota took over after that, finishing with a 15-4 edge on shots in the third.“We go up 1-nothing and our mentality’s got to be step on their throats,” Stars coach Jim Montgomery said. “I think we get result-oriented, and we start managing, looking at the clock instead of playing through the game.”First, Matt Dumba put a loose rebound past Bishop at 9:37 of the third to tie the score.After Suter’s goal, Zach Parise scored into an empty net with 1 minute left.“We got that feeling, especially after the second goal, to shut down,” Boudreau said. “We didn’t give them an opportunity. … We didn’t want to try to take the foot off the gas, and I don’t think we did in the last 10 minutes.”Bishop also finished with 33 saves.Spezza lamented his team’s late-game performance.“Credit to their goalie, but it’s our job to make life as difficult as possible for him,” he said. “We didn’t play good for an 8- to 10-minute time and we lose a game because of it.”The Stars have scored only two goals in losing their last three games after a 3-1 start.In the closely played first period, Dallas didn’t have a shot on goal until Spezza put the puck on Dubnyk at 11:21. Bishop stopped the period’s best scoring chance when he denied Marcus Foligno on a short breakaway from the left faceoff circle at 13:38.The second period was freewheeling, with the Stars outshooting the Wild 24-13 but they couldn’t beat Dubnyk. His best stop was on Blake Comeau on a 2-on-1 late in the period.“When you’re seeing pucks well,” Dubnyk said, “able to read off our guys really well, because they work hard for me in front, that allows me to sit and wait and you’re not going down with the puck.”NOTES: Dumba tied Jason Zucker for the Wild’s team lead with his third goal. Parise leads the team with eight points (two goals, six assists). . Minnesota recalled F Matt Read from Iowa of the AHL and immediately put him on the top line. Read replaced Matt Hendricks, who is expected to miss 2 to 3 weeks because of a left leg injury that occurred in the first period on Tuesday. … Stars RW Alexander Radulov had been expected to play despite what was described as a “minor issue” in the third period of their game on Tuesday. RW Valeri Nichushkin (lower-body injury) missed his second straight game.UP NEXTWild: Return home to host Tampa Bay on Saturday in the Wild’s second road-home back-to-back games in six days.Stars: Host Los Angeles on Tuesday in the second game of a three-game homestand.
